FYI:
I have a repeatable problem on my FreeBSD-3.4Stable workstation. If the
floppy disk is physically tabbed as read-only and I mount it rw I can
then 'lock' the system up by using vim (to read a text-file on the disk ...
less had the same problem). Is this expected behaviour? I did this from the
console and could still <Alt> between the virtual consoles. The only way to
get going again was to reboot. After that happened twice I tabbed the disk
writable and things were fine.

I only think that this is a problem because this could have been my server
at work. Sorry if this is just a result of my own ignorance.
thanks,
